Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
(a) On July 1, 2015, ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”) received notification from Nasdaq that it was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605. This rule requires that the Company’s Board of Directors be composed of a majority of independent directors. The Company’s Board of Directors has been composed of three independent directors and two non-independent directors but the resignation of independent director Paul Largess on June 30, 2015, as disclosed in Item 5.02 below, resulted in an equal number of independent and non-independent directors at the Company. In addition, this rule also requires the Company to have at least three independent directors on the audit committee Mr. Largess’ resignation leaves the audit committee with only two independent directors and causes the Company to no longer be in compliance with this portion of the rule.
The Nasdaq notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock. Consistent with Listing Rule 5605(b)(a)(A), Nasdaq provides the Company a cure period in order to regain compliance as follows:
|
·
|
until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or June 30, 2016; or
|
|
·
|
if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before December 28, 2015, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than December 28, 2015.
|
The Company plans to replace Mr. Largess by appointing another independent director within the cure period.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(b) On June 30, 2015, director, Paul Largess, notified ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”) of his decision to resign as a member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Largess’ decision to resign is not because of any disagreement with the Company.
